I'm very happy to be working and to have a job right now after last year- it was rough for everyone. It's a great character, a great script, and I'm having a blast!"

The Mexico native has made a name for himself on stage and screen, portraying characters in both Spanish and English. "I'm fascinated by the English language and I love performing in English. I actually prefer singing in English because that's how I learned to sing in the first place. I'm very comfortable doing musicals in English."
